Las Vegas, to Dubai, Ibiza (and back to Las Vegas) on a daily basis.

KYLE WALKER (BARBADOS)

Having missed England's dismal European U21 Championship through injury, Tottenham star Kyle Walker has been sunning himself in Barbados.

The former Sheffield United defender was spotted strolling along Sandy Lane beach with a mystery woman as well as having fun on a jet ski.

Wearing black shorts and a grey vest, Walker was seen having a laugh with fellow beach-goers before boarding the jet ski.

After
a long campaign that saw Spurs narrowly miss out Champions League
qualification finishing one place behind North London rivals Arsenal, Walker seemed to be enjoying his summer break.

The England international was forced to pull out of manager Roy Hodgson's squad with a fibula injury he picked up whilst playing for Spurs in a friendly against Jamaica in the Bahamas.

Had Walker avoided injury, he would still have been unavailable to U21 boss Stuart Pearce after the FA said that any players selected for the senior side for the friendlies against Brazil and the Republic of Ireland could not be selected to play for the U21s.

CHARLIE MULGREW (BARBADOS)

Kyle Walker wasn't the only international defender enjoying himself on Barbados' Sandy Lane Beach.

Scotland's recent newly-wed Charlie Mulgrew has also been snapped at the same holiday destination with new wife Alana.

The Celtic star was left out of Gordon Strachan's squad that faced Croatia so that he could get married on June 8. Fortunately, his team-mates didn't miss him too much as they secured a brilliant 1-0 victory in Zagreb courtesy of a Robert Snodgrass goal.

The former Aberdeen man applied sun cream to his new spouse before the pair chilled out on sun loungers.
